Question 4517 Deck General

The correct answer is D) 2 hours. The helicopter should be carrying enough fuel to last for 2 hours, which is the total round trip time (45 minutes each way, for a total of 1 hour and 30 minutes), plus an additional 30 minutes of reserve fuel, as required by aviation regulations. This ensures the helicopter has enough fuel to complete the round trip safely, with a buffer in case of any unexpected delays or conditions. The other options are incorrect because they do not provide the necessary reserve fuel. Option A) 45 minutes is only enough for the one-way trip, without any reserve. Option B) 1 hour and 15 minutes is not enough to cover the full round trip plus reserve. Option C) 1 hour and 30 minutes is the total round trip time but does not include the required 30 minutes of reserve fuel.
